    Self esteem should come from how YOU feel about yourself. Smile and blow them off, remembering YOU'VE done an awesome job.

    I totally see this, and really at any given moment I am pretty sure I am the coolest person in any room :wink: But it doesn't stop other people and their opinions hurting your feelings (even if in a perfectly mentally healthy adult it should) So yes OP hold your own self worth, it is no one else's job to do that for you, and then stand up for yourself. If they are rude it is ok to say, "hey that was rude, don't repeat it." Or "it appears you fell off the wrong side of the bed today, so I gonna walk away while you adjust your attitude."
